Chocolate Marble Pound Cake
When should I add the ¼ cup of water listed in the ingredients?
You should add it at the same time you add the orange juice.
I’m a bit confused; when should I add the dry ingredients and the rest of the wet ingredients after adding egg yolks and oil?
After you add the oil gradually on low speed, you’ll add the flour, orange juice, and water together. Then stir the mixture gently.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1½ cups sugar
- A pinch of salt
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2¼ tsp. baking powder (10 g)
- 2½ tsp. vanilla sugar (10 g)
- ½ tsp. almond extract – optional
- 1 cup orange juice / 1 cup water + 1 tbsp. orange extract
- ¾ cup oil
- ¼ cup water
- Orange/lemon zest
Decoration:
- 3 tbsp. chocolate-milk mix
- 1 tbsp. cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp. instant coffee powder
Instructions
- Grab two separate bowls and separate the eggs’ whites from the yolks.
- Add the sugar to the whites’ bowl and beat the mixture using a mixer until it’s firm. It shouldn’t be too stiff or peaky.
- Lower the mixer’s speed and add the egg yolks, then follow them with the oil.
- After adding the oil, add all the dry ingredients except the chocolate milk mix. Then, mix everything together at a low speed
- Add orange juice and water, then keep mixing at a low speed.
- When the mixture is blended well, split it into three separate bowls.
- In the first bowl, add cocoa powder along with the chocolate-milk mix you left earlier, and fold it in.
- In the second bowl, add a tablespoon of instant coffee powder, then stir well.
- Don’t add anything to the third bowl; it’ll serve as the white batter in the cake.
- Grab a 9-inch cake pan (24 cm) and oil it using a thin brush.
- Add the content of the three bowls to the cake pan, but don’t do it all at once. Drop the white batter first, then the chocolate batter, and end it with the coffee batter.
- Grab a skewer or any similar utensil and move the batter around to form the swirls of the marble cake.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C), then put the cake pan inside. Leave it to bake for 45 minutes. Then, check its readiness with a knife.
- If the knife comes out dry, it means the cake is ready.
